French and British contractors announce progress in PA2/CVF co-operation
16 Nov 2007
A step has just been achieved in the co-operation between the French PA2 aircraft carrier programme and the British CVF programme.
French and British contractors involved in these programmes — DCNS and Aker Yards for France, BAE Systems, VT Shipbuilding, THALES and Babcock Support Services for the United Kingdom — have confirmed their desire to co-operate by signing a co-operation agreement.
This agreement is the result of the collaboration, to the benefit of these programmes, undertaken since early 2005.
The agreement lays down the general provisions for co-operation for the Development and Manufacture and In-service support of the PA2 and CVF vessels. This agreement on the French and British carrier projects represents a new milestone between French and British naval shipbuilders.
